The following images were taken with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 using the bundled Leica 14-50mm f3.8-5.6 lens. The
L10 was set to Large Fine mode with Auto White Balance and the Standard Film mode. OIS mode 1 was enabled for all these handheld images.

The crops are taken from the original files, reproduced at 100% and saved in
Adobe Photoshop CS2 as JPEGs with the default Very High quality preset, while
the resized images were made in Photoshop CS2 and saved with the default High
quality preset.

The three crops are typically taken from far left, central and
far right portions of each image.

For this first shot we activated Live View, flipped the L10's screen out and held the camera as high as possible. This allowed us to easily frame the shot and capture the boats behind the sail, which have been obscured on recent Cameralabs galleries taken at normal height.

As you'd hope at 100 ISO, the crops are detailed and noise-free, and impressively, there's no fringing despite the high contrast surface of the yacht. The crops do however appear a little soft.

This second shot was taken again in live View with the screen flipped-out, but this time turned upwards, allowing us to comfortably frame the shot just a few cm above the ground, without having to lie down. Live View with the flip out screen gives you enormous flexibility.

As before the crops are very clean and detailed, but again there's a lack of ultimate sharpness - this is something you'll see with the L10's default settings. We felt it could benefit from a slight boost in the sharpening.

For this macro shot we zoomed the kit lens into its maximum focal length of 50mm and increased the sensitivity to 400 ISO. We also used Live View and the manual focus assist mode to confirm the areas we wanted in sharp focus.

As before, the crops are detailed and the increase in sensitivity hasn't had a detrimental effect in this particular, well-lit composition.

For this second indoor shot we increased the sensitivity to 800 ISO. Even then the very dim conditions resulted in a shutter speed of 1/15, but this was well within the stabilisation capabilities of the lens.

Crops taken from dimmer areas, such as around the clock, reveal an increase in noise and processing, but there's still
a decent amount of detail recorded in other areas, such as the beer labels.
